Dig Deep the Grave
Nick Barone, cashiered ex-Special Forces, has spent the last few years glued to a bar stool in a seedy establishment. When Marta, daughter of his old mentor Master Sergeant Manny Fernandez, walks into the bar one evening and reveals that her only child has been brutally murdered and her terminally ill father wants to see Barone right away, he cannot refuse the widows request. After Martas father extracts a promise from Barone to find his grandsons killers and exact revenge, Barone begins a quest that leads him to a gang of small-time drug dealers, corrupt cops, and a radical Muslim Imam. He stumbles upon a connectiona funding of the Imams terrorist training program by an organized, nationwide distribution of drugs. Dozens of hoods are involved, but those odds have never bothered Barone who is a man consumed by a hatred of rats who kill for pleasure. Besides, he is a man of his word and Manny is counting on him. From the crowded streets of Hollywood to the vast farmlands of central Florida, Nick searches for answers and, in the process, finds a measure of personal redemption.

How do we learn? And how can we learn better? In this groundbreaking look at the science of learning, Sanjay Sarma, head of Open Learning at MIT, shows how we can harness this knowledge to discover our true potential. Drawing from his own experience as an educator as well as the work of researchers and innovators at MIT and beyond, in Grasp, Sarma explores the history of modern education, tracing the way in which traditional classroom methods—lecture, homework, test, repeat—became the norm and showing why things needs to change. The book takes readers across multiple frontiers, from fundamental neuroscience to cognitive psychology and beyond, as it considers the future of learning. It introduces scientists who study forgetting, exposing it not as a simple failure of memory but as a critical weapon in our learning arsenal. It examines the role curiosity plays in promoting a state of “readiness to learn” in the brain (and its troublesome twin, “unreadiness to learn”). And it reveals how such ideas are being put into practice in the real world, such as at unorthodox new programs like Ad Astra, located on the SpaceX campus. Along the way, Grasp debunks long-held views such as the noxious idea of “learning styles,” equipping readers with practical tools for absorbing and retaining information across a lifetime of learning.
